The first trailer has been released for the eagerly-anticipated EA Sports FIFA 18 video game.

The footage shows Cristiano Ronaldo, the new face of the EA Sports production, taking on a number of players before winning a free-kick.

Ronaldo's Real Madrid take on Chelsea in the trailer, and it concludes with the Portuguese pulling out his trademark celebration.

The favourite for the Balon d’Or and four-time Champions League winner celebrated his latest triumph of European football’s top trophy against Juventus at the weekend with his 600th goal for club and country.

And he has now been named as the face of FIFA 18, a game that boasted Lionel Messi as its cover star until 2016.
